\u00a0<\/p>

On 8th August 2022 I took my first ever step into that serene campus of Paro College of Education.\u00a0 I still remember how the vast sky, painted\u00a0 in endless hues of blue, mirrored my excitement and uncertainty that day. Though PCE welcomed me warmly, being a very dense and clueless self then, I wasn\u2019t ready for its warmth.<\/span><\/p>

SB212 was the first classroom I entered where I felt as stoic as a statue\u00a0 while being overwhelmed by the sight of unfamiliar faces of my mates. The class was indeed bursting with enthusiasm and energy, leaving me both inspired as well as intimidated.<\/span><\/p>

Yet, PCE nurtured me through shedding my shyness and in building my confidence . Every activity, discussions , and assignments\u00a0 became a stepping stone for my self discovery. Meanwhile, the days soon turned into years. Upgrading to 3rd year marked the end of my hostel life experiences such as the days filled with laughter, late night talks, and our midnight group karaoke sessions. Though it was\u00a0 a short lived experience , it taught me the sense responsibility, joy in shared living, interdependence and more.<\/span><\/p>

Very soon, our long awaited phase of becoming a student teacher came into reality. Just like any other PCEan, I was also filled with both eagerness and fear as I should park my jovial college days aside and be a walking role model for my students. There, at Ramchetsekha primary school, I found myself standing infront of real students, feigning confidence to shield against my lingering shadows of social anxiety.<\/span><\/p>

Yet, my students were my greatest teachers who actually pulled me out from my own comfort bubble. Their curious tapioca pearl eyes and innocent smiles reminded me that I have indeed chosen the right path. They helped me in seeing the potential that I had buried deep within me.<\/span><\/p>

Through\u00a0 trust and laughter, they unclipped my wings and allowed me to soar beyond any self doubt. Being with them, I learn patience, empathy, and the true meaning of being an educator which even the college modules can\u2019t describe.<\/span><\/p>

However , as July 2025\u00a0 drew closer, I had to end my teaching practicum which felt like closing a beautiful chapter of my life . It was hard to say goodbye after all the shared memories I had with my students , yet I had to and I still believe that they were really sent by my god to act as a lighthouse\u00a0 to illuminate my journey in becoming better person from what I was.<\/span><\/p>

Soon, on the 28th of July 2025, I once again walked through that gates of PCE, but this time\u00a0 I was calm, grateful, and felt whole. I was no longer that uncertain girl who entered through that same gate under the blue hue sky in 2022.<\/span><\/p>

Overall, I must say that\u2019s the charm of being PCEan, as you got to grow not only in knowledge but in wisdom, confidence and compassion as you prepare for the real world ahead after the college. Hence, thank you PCE for shaping me to become a better version of myself , for strengthening my voice and filling my heart with a sense of belonging and purpose.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
